It's all right lads. They're women and kids, they can't harm us. Just look at those 14 """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""teenagers"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" brought into London last year  :)

But hey, if it makes muh voter base feel safe.

Well durr, people vote with their hearts, which is why we have crazy self-destructive liberal governments on one hand and someone like Trump on the other.

Everything will be fine as long as Trump nukes North Korea, forget the wall. Wasn't a big deal anyway.

Hang on though, a travel warning is very different. Surely that means that the US is saying "be careful travelling to these countries" rather than doing anything to limit immigration.
That's standard following terrorist attacks etc, although applying it to the entirety of Europe is a bit pointless; IS aren't about to bomb Portugal.

No putting a travel alert administered by the state dept is not normal for Europe, this is a first. And I know schools and universities do take it seriously, regarding summer programs and trips to Europe I'm sure there will be a decline

A travel warning is saying: we highly discourage going to those countries, imminent danger (like Afghanistan or Sudan lol)

 How often does one have to point out that nearly all terrorist attacks weren't performed by refugees?


On a completely different note: the Bundeswehr is having its own moment of shame.... dayum...
Probably one of the very few old-timers here who hasn't been a regimental leader.

Israel and Turkey are on almost all warning lists in Western countries... They're both on the Red-flag list for the DoD for most countries...

Sure, the largest parts of Israel and Turkey as as safe as any large city (talking world cities like Istanbul or Jerusalem) but the simple fact an armed conflict is taking place near or on its borders or has taken place in very recent times make it an orange or a red flag.

Or any country with an unstable or dictatorial government. All the countries on the lists make perfect sense... except all countries in Europe. By all accounts, the European continent hasn't ever been as safe as it is at the moment.

How often do the NA & European intelligence agencies have to point out that there are going to be more attacks via the refugee flow? Inserting terrorists into the West is atop of ISIS' 2017 agenda.
The CIA said last year that the terrorist group’s official strategy is to hide its operatives among refugees entering Europe and the United States via human flows out of the Middle East and North Africa.

They've already had plenty of success:

- Two of the airport and Metro attacks in Brussels last year had fought in Syria and gained entry back into Belgium.

- The German press has reported refugee knife and ax attacks on innocents.
 - Nov. 13, 2015, massacre in Paris — two posed as refugees from Syria — and the Christmastime truck carnage in Berlin.

- Shortly before he left his post as NATO commander, Air Force Gen. Philip Breedlove said in March that the Islamic State had injected 1,500 fighters into Europe. (That year, a Syrian Islamic State operative told Britain’s Daily Express that more than 4,000 fighters had already been smuggled into Europe.)

By all accounts, the European continent hasn't ever been as safe as it is at the moment.

Yes, Riddlez, your precious EU clearly has an airtight grip on ISIS and vetting the refugees.

Funny how a group of mass murders in the Middle East have identified the weaknesses of your empathy politics, yet you're still oblivious. Really though, what can we except from such an out of touch idealist like yourself.
